Have you ever been proved so totally wrong?

If I had a dime for each time I screwed up I’d be a wealthy man.

Oh yes, on more than one occasion. There is no shame in being wrong, simply admit it, apologize if necessary, learn from it and move on. Don’t beat yourself up over it too much, life is for living and learning.

I am definitely right a lot more often than I am wrong. I was right about Amanda Knox all along too. Murderer.

Oh yes….. I totally convinced myself that the women I loved didnt love me & was about to dump me. So I got in there first, then scarpered. Turns out she was actually about to take me on holiday for my birthday, tell me she loved me, & ask if we could move in together….. needless to say, when I think about it, I feel a total c*nt.

@Adirondackwannabe Think I would be richer than you!

@Jade I never learn though, that is my trouble.

@JeffVader You never told me that? Oh my god! The 2nd chance is now even more special.

We all have.

@Dibley I didnt know before Sunday

Yeah. Me, too. Low self-esteem and fear of abandonment can get to be way too much. It seems easier to make the end happen, rather than wait for the other person to break up with you. Of course, they it turns out you were completely misinterpreting what the other person thought because of your fears. It is far too easy to turn something into nothing because of fear.

On the other hand, if the person you are worried about continues to remain true to you, that can, eventually, raise your self-esteem to the point where you aren’t convinced they will leave your worthless ass as soon as they can. Or maybe even that you are a prize that they feel a little unworthy of. Ain’t that a kick in the head?

@wundayatta Sure would be, yes. I was just so convinced about things. I couldn’t of been proven more wrong. At least I never accused, just casually asked.

Many times, usually in social situations. I don’t express myself well or apropriately at such times. I usually wind up kicking myself and telling myself to “shut the hell up”. One of these days I may just learn that social situations and me just do not mix. I had more or less completely cut myself off from the world socially for about 25 years. Now I have to learn to do it all over again. My social skills are about that of a not-very-bright 12 year old, and cannot be improved upon. Better to stick to technical matters and avoid the social minefield.

@Dibley Just reach out to your friends. We understand and we’re here to help.

No

Many times, and I’m sure I’ll be proven wrong again.

Yes. Nothing major that I can recall, more little events. It is humiliating, and let me tell you I am not gracious in defeat

not me, i’ve never been wrong! <tiptoeing out>

Yes, I have made an ass of myself, many times. And will again, I am sure.

Sure!—but who cares?—lol

Yeah me too… I think that’s how this famous quote became so popular by Anais Nin..
“We don’t see the world as it is. We see the world as we are.”

And sometimes I just can’t see the mayonnaise jar sitting right in front of my eyes on the second shelf in the frigde!

Never.

Only once, and that taught me a very valuable lesson.

liars liars, your pants are on fire! lmao!

Anyone who says they haven’t is lying.

Nope.

The question was… “proved so totally wrong.”

I have been proven wrong. Never “so totally wrong.”

Never! But I do have a few Republican Tea Party Wingnut opinions that the jury is still out on….but I have a pretty good feeling my streak will remain intact!

loll….as the car salesman said, “i wouldn’t lie to you!—

I enjoy being proved wrong. I always learn from those situations. I remember what was “right” and adjust my views accordingly.

Many times. My man has proven me wrong and I love him more for it. :)

I make snap judgments and am stupid enough to share them. I guess I just like to shoot myself in the foot. Over and over.
